Mark Hoffman's Saratoga selections - day #26 (8/21) : Record 70 - 240 ($501.00)
Race #1
Good Prospect - gets the slimmest pick here in wide open race, sharp effort with big speed figure in last start.
Pretty Boy Freud - similar effort and figure as top selection last time out in same company, distance.....but on "firm" turf.
Exotic & multi-race runners : Wrtingonthewall - Longboarder
Race #2
Brilliant Speed - second time out for trainer who improves runners with this angle, also adds lasix today, square price selection.
Joe Vann - scratched from Thursday's spot for here, also should improve with addition of blinkers today.
Exotic & multi-race runners : Curlinello - Striding Ahead
Race #3
Good to be Me - back versus maidens after showing pace in statebred stake last time out, tough here today.
Elsie's Warrior - last seen over a year ago here in the same spot just coming up short, may need a race off that "double bar" layoff!
Exotic & multi-race runners : We Need V L T's - Dirt Track Demon
Race #4
Callide Valley - drops to this bottom level after showing speed off Fall layoff in last start, this colt was well thought of last year as a juvenile.
Talk to Nick - goes out first time for "super trainer" R.R. , let's see what he can do with this one!
Exotic & multi-race runners : Jimmy Vegas - Show Trial
Race #5
Thunder Perfect - no factor on the weeds in Saratoga debut, two starts back was right behind; Fly Down & First Dude.......two Travers contenders!
Morning Line - 2nd best in similar conditions last time out as the lukewarm favorite, Zito finally got "off the duck" on Thursday with a winner!
Exotic & multi-race runners : Keep me Informed - African Diamond
Race #6
Igoturback - gets the call here in head scratcher of statebred baby race, favorite may pay double digits here....it's that wide open!
Pin Number - uncoupled stablemate of top selection, your guess is as good as mine in this spot!
Exotic & multi-race runners : Tall Tale Teller - Seek to Destroy
Race #7
Bold Vindication - taking a shot with our man "Sciacca" here with runner that occasionally puts in a good effort, looking at some "pricey" ones today!
Into My Soul - the class dropper here, gets a group here he can handle.....if he remembers!
Exotic & multi-race runners : Kijo - Budget
Race #8
Mr. Tribute - even effort last time out as the very lukewarm favorite over the course, gets the edge off that effort.
Legend of Navarone - no factor in debut......but, should improve today from that first effort.
Exotic & multi-race runners : East of Danzig - Beachcombing
Race #9
Mystic Fever - gets the call here off that maiden victory in last start over the course, meets a rather easy group here.
Peace Fire - rallied at Colonial Downs in last start, gets blinkers on today.
Exotic & multi-race runners : Don Balcazio - Zapster
Race #10
Blind Luck - the top 3 yr.old filly in the country makes her east coast debut today and tries to wrap up her divisional honors with a win today, the question is; what kind of pace will she have to close into with her late kick?
Devil May Care - has bounce back well after her race against the boys in the Kentucky Derby with two straight grade I victories, win over the track & her running style MAY be a edge over my top selection.
Exotic & multi-race runners : Harve de Grace - Connie and Michael
Race #11
Peat Bay - just missed with good try turf sprinting downstate, bullet work for this start today.
Strolldownbroadway - even effort as the favorite last time out, one more chance today!
Exotic & multi-race runners : Recharged - Well Suited
Hoffy's "Horse to Beat" play of the day (22) 8-8-1 : PEAT BAY (11th)
